Ramen is a bit expensive but good and decent size. Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen was very red and oily but not very spicy.

The second time coming here was better than the first time. We came here on New Year's Day 2026 and decided to come here the day before Valentines Day to beat the crowds. Even still our wait was 25 minutes. But the food and service to us was worth the wait. Next time I'm going to try to come for Happy Hour.

We stumbled on this place by accident. Very good place. The staff is super welcoming and make sure you are well taken care of. Our server actually packed up our Ramen for us after we dined in.

Had take out, service is slow and the worst ramen I've had. Soup was bland, noodles was bland, meat is chewy. The inconsistency... Chef must be hungover. I had to make my own instant ramen, and threw this away

This is my new go to Japanese restaurant that I have walked or ridden by several times and finally decided to go in! We are always welcomef with open arms and treated with the utmost respect. I usually get the Unagi, Kimchi Dumplings, Salmon Cakes etc and wife gets the Ramen delicious! Whenever we visit the owner/ manager gifts us with either an appetizer or something tangible we still use today. Food is delicious
